Four Hours of Faffing, Fun

F is for…..

Four hours of faffing, fun

Water droplets was Bobsbitz challenge for today. This was my method:

Macro lens on manual set to f8, 1/250 and ISO 200

Off camera flash set to its lowest power

A tray of water with blue food dye added

A suspended bag of water with a pinhole in

I manually focussed on a carving knife blade at the point where the droplets were hitting the water

I pressed the shutter lots and lots and lots of time with barely enough time between each one for the flash to recharge.

And, as always, ably assisted by faithful Igor
